Natural and Light Finishes
Star sells select Alder, Knotty Alder, Cherry and Knotty Cherry, Hickory, Maple and Rustic      Maple, Oak, and Quartersawn Oak wood and veneers. These woods vary in color and shade. Some can be found in shades of white, black, red, yellow and even green within the lighter finishes. Mineral streaks, wormholes and other natural imperfections will be more prevalent and grain textures will vary.

Premium Glaze Finish
Glazing is a technique that applies a thin color coating over the top of a base stain. The glaze is applied to the wood cabinet component, allowed to rest and then hand wiped off. The application of the glaze not only modifies the base stain color, but highlights the profile areas and variations in the wood. The true beauty of glazing is the result of combining each unique and individualized piece together into a complete design. The application of glaze is specific to door types, species and base stain color.

Painted Finishes
Painted finish cabinets offer endless color possibilities. Simply chose a color from the cabinet manufacturer, such as this sampling from Mid Continent, or chose any color from a paint manufacturer and we can match it. A sample will be created for you to approve! Painted finishes are a great way to add the perfect color to your room. Be aware that inherent characteristics of wood cause expansion and contraction. The opaque varnish is suspended over the top of the wood and cannot expand and contract. Therefore, the surface may show small hairline fractures or cracks on the joints and some flat surfaces. You must be prepared to accept this risk and understand that no warranty can insure against this. All other parts of the warranty will remain in effect.

Distressing or Antiquing
Distressing, glazed, crackled, flyspecked, toned, shaded and other specialty finishes are the creation of an artistic touch applied by skilled artisans. The various methods that are employed to achieve this aged look lend each kitchen its own uniquely individual characteristics. Due to the nature of this procedure, each kitchen, and more specifically each individual door and drawer front will have its own identity. Because of this individuality, no two doors or drawers will have the same look. Adding or removing any of the processes from a finish will drastically alter the final appearance of that finish. Most distressing or "old world" finishes are not applied to the backs of the doors and drawer fronts.

 Mellowing of Colors
As the cabinets age, there may be slight mellowing of the color. This is due to the exposure of natural and artificial light. This is a characteristic of painted or stained furniture and cabinetry. This mellowing of the color is normal and not considered a quality defect.
